18. Kwathi, akubona uZimri ukuba uza kuthinjwa umzi, wangena enqabeni yendlu yokumkani, wayitshisa ngomlilo phezu kwakhe indlu yokumkani, wafa;
19. ngenxa yezono zakhe awona ngazo, wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, wahamba ngendlela kaYarobheham, nangezono zakhe awazenzayo wawonisa ngazo amaSirayeli.
20. Ezinye izinto zikaZimri, nokuceba kwakhe awaceba ngako, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaSirayeli?
21. Baza bahluka kubini abantu bakwaSirayeli: esinye isahlulo sabantu salandela uTibheni, unyana kaGinati, ukuba simenze ukumkani; esinye isahlulo salandela uOmri.
22. Abantu ababelandela uOmri baboyisa abo bantu babelandela uTibheni, unyana kaGinati; wafa uTibheni; waba ngukumkani uOmri.
23. Ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu anamnye ka-Asa ukumkani wakwaYuda, uOmri waba ngukumkani wamaSirayeli, iminyaka yaba lishumi elinamibini; waba ngukumkani eTirtsa iminyaka emithandathu.
24. Waza wathenga intaba yakwaSamari kuSamari ngeetalente ezimbini zesilivere, wákha kuloo ntaba, wathi igama laloo mzi wawakhayo yiSamari, ngegama likaSamari umninintaba.
